What the heck is that?

I am seriously face palming here.

That worm could turn into a serious threat, corals will go missing, fish will go missing. It's a monster that needs to get removed begore it gets big enough to wreck havok.

It is a eunicid species and not a common bristleworm.

Edit: wrasse will not touch it.

Feed what’s being consumed in a short period of time .

I shouldn’t be admitting this openly but I feed my tank maybe once per week .
Most of my livestock are grazing fish such as tangs .
They can pick at the rocks and glass .
Clownfish , wrasse , trigger get to also pick off the rocks , and hunt for what we don’t see .

Haha I won’t tell I’ve always had large freshwater tanks and made my fish hunt to food before I’d feed them (as long as it wasn’t each other).

Ok, I’m happy to destroy it. The one on top is ginormous. As of right now I don’t have much in the tank, so I can definitely go on a mission without displacing much. Thank you, I appreciate it.

Over exaggerate much, smh

 

[Goaway]

Watch the video, watch the worm retreat to its mucus den. The door closes behind it. Never, have i seen bristleworms behave that way. Eunicids? Yes.

Want me to pull up a few threads?

Found a bobbit worm. Fish have been disappearing.

I was rearranging my scape and took two large pieces of live rock out overnight. This giant worm was on the floor, still moving so I put it in water. Bobbit worm, correct? I had 3-5 fairy wrasses disappear in the last year and a half. Most recently a Naoko. All new additions so I assumed...

Best to remove and not take the risk.

Same as any hitchhiker
If unknown , isolate it or sump until a positive identification can be made

 

[harrylarry]

Be careful, it might just move your tank too!!

I'm with you on this

This is indeed a eunicid worm and will have to be trapped. Best trap is one you can make your own using a 1 or 2 litre soda bottle baited with shrimp as in pic

Ok…the trap is set. Now I wait. If this doesn’t work, I’m packing it up and leaving. He can have the house. I’ll take my cats.
